Dieing "for no good reason", getting killed or outmanouvered by a skilled ai, not being able to just charge towards the enemy with all guns blazing, not caring if you die coz you can just respawn and carry on. You will just get frustrated that the game hasnt acknowledged you obvious supreme skill and capabilities and wont let you go on an endless manic killing spree.

If however you fancy a bit of simulated warfare where planning and teamwork lead to success, and mistakes mean your dead, play OA.

I can attest to that.

Now, while I love flight sims, I've never been able to get into games like Arma 2 or Operation Flashpoint.
I guess I'm too used to arcade shooters like Medal of Honor, Crysis, BFBC2 and games like that.
I appreciate what the sims are all about, but I'm too used to playing the arcade shooters that let me be the one-man army.

I bought Arma 2 because I thought it looked great, but it's just not my cup of tea. I might give it another go in the future, but right now it's not something I can really enjoy.
